It needs to ultimately be memory loss caused by a Stefano or Victor brain chip of some sort, imho. Real is too much for this show.

I understand where you're coming from, but some subjects are too important to play with. If they go down the road towards an Alzheimer's diagnosis, they have to follow it through to logical destination--no mater how heartbreaking it may be. To do otherwise is to thumb their nose at any viewer watching who is dealing with the harsh realities of Alzheimer's. It would be as hurtful as it would be disrespectful.

That's my worry- that it will wind up being disrespectful to viewers somehow. So I'm like, screw it, don't even really start with something real (though I know that they have), do what Days can handle. Who knows though, maybe they'll pull off a surprise.
